Bethenny Frankel, 55, is seen with a mystery man... after sharing chronic kidney disease diagnosis

Bethenny Frankel looked healthy in Miami on Monday afternoon after announcing that she has been diagnosed with stage two chronic kidney disease. 

The 55-year-old RHONY alum dressed in a low-cut corseted blue top with white slacks and beige sandals as she walked on a beach.

The brunette was both tanned and made up with beautiful hair and makeup as she looked far from ill while in a summer hat.

By her side was a dark-haired mystery man who was dressed for a day in the sun with a collared shirt and blue shorts while carrying a chic tote bag.

The star was dating Tom Villante last year after she was engaged to Paul Bernon from 2018 until 2024. Before that she dated Dennis Shields, and she was wed to Jason Hoppy, whom she divorced in 2012. 

It has been a rough year for the reality TV star already as she announced a health issue on Thursday. Frankel took to TikTok video to tell fans she is not 100 percent healthy these days. 

'So, I have a medical announcement,' she began but explained she did not want anyone to 'worry.' 

'Months ago I decided I was going to be very proactive about blood tests, bone density, all the things I had heard people talking about. And I started to take a series of blood tests.'

Frankel said that each time she had a blood test done, her kidney function results would have a "low" result.

'Then today, I was told I had a doctor's appointment with a kidney specialist and I didn't even want to go,' the TV personality shared.  

The reality star expressed that she made herself go to the appointment, with her team also encouraging her to go. 

Frankel then stated that the doctor told her she has 'stage two chronic kidney disease.

'And he said it could be a function of this traumatic experience I had years ago when I almost died from an allergy attack. It could have done damage to the kidney.' 

Another cause could be an autoimmune disorder while adding 'it's connected to urinary, which I do get UTIs - not as much anymore.'

The media personality admitted that she doesn't drink a lot of water, with the doctor telling her that 'water is your medicine.' 

Frankel added that she has to stay away from 'ibuprofen or Aleve or Advil' but can still have Tylenol. 

'He said you can't have turmeric and one other thing,' she said while indulging in a scoop of ice cream which the doctor informed the star she could have. 

The mom-of-one told her fans that she also has low blood pressure and problems with POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome).  

POTS is 'a condition that causes a number of symptoms when you transition from lying down to standing up, such as a fast heart rate, dizziness and fatigue,' per Cleveland Clinic. 

Frankel said she was open with her doctor about her other health conditions, including 'severe dehydration.'

'So, I'm trying to tell him everything so we can sort of try to be ahead of it and maybe get my levels back up. Maybe this is something I will have to deal with forever.' 

She then emphasized the importance of getting 'all your blood work done, all of it, be thorough and then do the follow ups for anything that seems like an outlier.

'And frankly, get your blood work done maybe six months and then six months later. Because different stuff can come up and sometimes it's an aberration and sometimes it means something.' 

In her case it was 'a pattern' but shared she is not sure what it means. 

'Many of you will which is why I am sharing with you because you guys are part time doctors and I love you guys and I don't know,' Frankel added at the end of the clip. 

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs when 'kidneys slowly get damaged and can't do important jobs like removing waste and keeping blood pressure normal,' per the National Kidney Foundation.  

Frankel has previously opened up about the ways she tries to stay on top of her health during an interview with Women's Health last year.

Some of the ways include walking 10,000 steps daily and getting plenty of sleep. The TV personality has also cut back on her alcohol intake as well. 

When it comes to diet, the star told the outlet, 'I believe in balance, and I've taught that to my daughter too. I'm not educated on every single thing. I barely know what seed oils are. I just do my best.'
